Watlington is a small village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, set in the flat, agricultural fenland that characterises this part of the county and within easy reach of the coast at The Wash and the historic port of King's Lynn.
With roots stretching back centuries, the village retains a handful of traditional cottages, a historic parish church and several farmsteads; the local economy remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as King's Lynn or Norwich. Community life centres on the village hall and pub and occasional local events, giving Watlington the quietly sociable feel common to rural Norfolk settlements.
